White Ladies Priory Projection

Recently, I was invited by NEWWAVE Art to respond to the old ruins of the White Ladies Priory, northwest of Wolverhampton, UK. Responding to the site remotely, this brief series is constructed from composites of recent satellite imagery depicting the priory and its surrounding landscape. When magnified, the limitations of current free-to-use satellite renderings creates ambiguous, indeterminate structures that operate on impressionistic digital strokes, boundaries, and artefacts. Juxtaposed against the 12th century structure of the priory, these examples of digital degradation and abstraction rebut the semblant certainties of the digital landscape.

Composite - 16 April 2020

Created by merging two consecutive drawings, this inverted composite was made over a total of 55 minutes. Reaching a top speed of 20 km/h, the NNW wind generated an almost figure-like rendering of the weather's behaviour.

Tree Study - Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary

The Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary is a 12.53km² protected area in North Canberra. Six species of gum tree exist within the sanctuary. Some trees wear the distinctive markings of woodland inhabitants, creating a visual study of the ecological relationships that exist within the landscape.
